Avery Bardot steps off the plane in Rome, looking for a fresh start. She’s left behind a soon-to-be ex-husband in Boston and plans to spend the summer with her best friend Daisy, licking her wounds—and perhaps a gelato or two. But when her American-expat friend throws her a welcome party on her first night, Avery’s thrown for a loop when she sees a man she never thought she’d see again: Italian architect Marcello Bianchi.

Marcello was the man—the one who got away. And now her past is colliding with her present, a present where she should be mourning the loss of her marriage and—hey, that fettuccine is delicious! And so is Marcello…

Slipping easily into the good life of summertime in Rome, Avery spends her days exploring a city that makes art historians swoon, and her nights swooning over her unexpected what was old is new again romance. It’s heady, it’s fevered, it’s wanton, and it’s crazy. But could this really be her new life? Or is it just a temporary reprieve before returning to the land of twin-set cardigans and crustless sandwiches?


A celebration of great friendship, passionate romance, and wonderful food, Roman Crazy is a lighthearted story of second chances and living life to the fullest.




I  WAS STARING AT A penis


I LOVED THIS BOOK! The main character, Avery, is great. But Daisy is greater!
This book it's so easy to read, it's fast and it gets you from the first line, literally.

This book also teaches you that you don't have to change for someone, because you come first.

It is fresh, with characters that are real, it may brings you some tears, but it's definitely worth it to read.

Penis gifts. They were penis gifts.


Now I'm gonna write spoilers, so if you don't wanna get spoiled I suggest you to leave now.

Divorced, American, non-Catholic. Fornicator!


Soooo, the book starts with Avery discovering her husband, Daniel, cheating on her with his secretary, Hilary. Daniel's mom, tells he to forgive him because it was "normal".

Avery calls her BFF Daisy, and tells her everything and that she was getting divorced. Daisy convinced Avery to go to Rome, and she agrees.


Her first night in Rome, Daisy takes her out, and then Avery sees Marcello, her love interest when she was in Spain. No one knew about them, not even Daisy, so Avery tells her how they meet in Barcelona and what happened afterwards when she returned to Boston and found out she was pregnant, with Daniel's baby, and then she got married.

“Tell me what happened nine years ago when you left to go back home and forgot all about Barcelona. And me.”


The day after, Marcello went to talk to her, and she tells him that she's going to work, as volunteer, in the vases. Days passed and Marcello asked her for a date.


“I know my timing isn’t right, but I wanted to say something.”
He stopped, turning to me with a blank expression.
“Is it terrible of me to say I’m actually really glad to see you?”
He looked up at the sky, then back to me, allowing a small smile. “It is not terrible.”


So, when the bank, that Daisy and Marcello had been working on, is open, Marcello and Avery kissed. So now they start having dates. Daisy leaves to Amsterdam, and Avery and Marcello start dating.


Marcello takes Avery to the Lake Como. She feels bad with herself for not telling him about her divorce, so she decides to tell the same night they arrive. Marcello now knows what happened this nine years.


“I didn’t realize how much I missed you. Missed your mouth,” he purred, frantically angling me up the stairs.
“Marcello,” I sighed, my lips tangled with his. There was nothing in the world like kissing this man. And I wanted more than ever to kiss him for hours without a care in the world, reacquaint myself with every contour and plane of his exquisite mouth.
But this reunion was anything but relaxed. This was nine years, nine years, of going without this kind of passion.


After the weekend they spent together, they have to return to Rome, where Avery sees Daniel in Daisy's porch, waiting for her. They talk and agreed to divorce without problems because they don't love each other anymore.


Marcello asked Avery to go to Pienza to meet his parents. Once they're there, she meets his entire family. They're nice to her. Allegra, Marcello's older sister, tells her to not hurt his brother again.


When they come back to Rome, Avery talks to Simone, Marcello's ex girlfriend, she tells Avery that Cello was with the both of them at the same time. Avery asks Marcello, and he says it was true. They solve that, and stay together.

“I meet women, I date women. But no one I would have considered bringing home.”
“Never met the right girl, I guess,” I mused.
“I did meet the right girl.” He lifted my hand and dropped a kiss on the back of it. “Many years ago.”


Avery has decided to stay in Rome to work. Marcello has an offer to work in Brazil and asked Avery to go with him, she refuses. Marcello declined the offer because he wanted to stay with Avery in Rome.



Put. Yourself. First.


This book is a perfect goodbye to the summer.
I liked when Avery declined Marcello's proposition to got to Brazil, she knew she didn't want to live again like that.


My other favorite thing in this book was Daisy. OMG! The relationship between Daisy and Avery was so goals! It was so real. All the jokes, the talking, the advices. I enjoyed every dialogue they had. THEY'RE SO GOOD TOGETHER!


“You can at least have the decency to wait until I leave before calling your boooooyfriend.”
I swung open the door. With wide-eyed innocence, I said, “How’d you know I was calling your dad?”
She mock-gagged. “Unfair!”


I liked the moment when Avery and Daniel talked about Hannah, and how they felt after her early death.


There are tons of romance, but my fave was when they're in Pienza, and Marcello took her to his parents big garden and then they declared their love.


“I love you.”
I nodded, smiling and burrowing my head into his chest. I squeezed my arms around his waist. “I love you, too. So much.”
Happy tears spilled, but I was too busy being kissed silly to care. With his hands on my cheeks, he peppered kisses and whispered I love yous all over my face. “I don’t think I ever stopped loving you.”




I hope you like the review.

The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those don't.

As the kingdoms of Erilea fracture around her, enemies must become allies if Aelin is to keep those she loves from falling to the dark forces poised to claim her world. With war looming on all horizons, the only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.

Aelin's journey from assassin to queen has entranced millions across the globe, and this fifth installment will leave fans breathless. Will Aelin succeed in keeping her world from splintering, or will it all come crashing down?



“It’s the calm before the storm.”

I've just finished this book. And it was the best in this series until now! You guys should go and get the book, it's freaking good!

You'll see characters from the other books, actually, from the novellas.

“A storm is coming. A great storm.”


Now I'm gonna write spoilers, so if you don't wanna get spoiled I suggest you to leave now.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!


I really hate Sarah for doing this!! Poor Aelin! Poor Rowan.


So, the books starts with Elide running, and she meets a guy named Lorcan, so they make a deal which helps each other.

Aelin knows that the war is coming, so ahe decided sent Rowan to protect Dorian, and she and the rest of her court will find allies.

Manon was sent, with her Thirteen, to destroy Rifthold, and to take the king with her. When Rowan arrives to the city, he finds that the witches broke down Aelin's glass wall.


“I should die with them,” was the king’s answer.
They reached the bottom of the stairs, the passage now widening into breathable chambers. Rowan again snaked his magic through the many tunnels and stairs. The one to the right suggested a sewer entrance lay at its bottom. Good.
“I was sent here to keep you from doing just that,” Rowan said at last.


Manon saved Dorian's life. Rowan killed 3 witches and then takes Dorian with him.
When they're travelling, Dorian asks Rowan to help to control his magic.



Manon returns to Morath, and when the other witches know about the deads of the other witches, decided to murder her second, Asterin, as a compensation. She refuses to kill her cousin, so she starts a fight with her grandmother, who tells her who is Manon's father and that she killed him. Manon finds out she is a Crochan. The last Crochan Queen.


Her grandmother chuckled, still circling, assessing. “You are stripped of your title as Wing Leader. You are stripped of your title as heir.” Step after step, closer and closer, an adder looping around its prey. “From this day, you are Manon Witch Killer, Manon Kin Slayer.”



Aelin goes to Skull's Bay to talk to Captain Rolfe, because he doesn't want help their cause, but he decides help them because his island is being attacked. Aelin talks to Elena and discovers that her mother was Mala.


After scaping from her grandmother, Manon was very beaten and almost dead, when Aelin finds her. She helps her. After days that Manon had been with Aelin and her court, they finally reunited with Elide.


Aelin is now looking for the Lock, which will help to lock Erawan. She finds it, but it's a mirror, she crossed it with Manon, and she discovers all the truth about her life. Elena tells her that her life has always been planned for her to locked Erawan.


Nameless is my price


At this time, Maeve arrives with the fleet, and tells Aelin, that she also planned a few things, which involves Rowan. Maeve takes Aelin with her.

Then a hand gripping his hair, yanking back his head as a dagger settled along his throat. As Rowan’s face, calm with lethal wrath, appeared in his vision.
“Where is Aelin.” There was pure panic, too—pure panic as Whitethorn saw the blood, the scattered blades, and the shirt. “Where is Aelin.”
What had he done, what had he done—
Pain sliced Lorcan’s neck, warm blood dribbled down his throat, his chest. Rowan hissed, “Where is my wife?”
Lorcan swayed where he knelt.
Wife.
Wife.


Once Rowan arrives to the shore his notices that Aelin is not there, and after that two allies, that his Queen contacted, arrive with their armies.


“Remember who you are. Every step of the way down, and every step of the way back. Remember who you are. And that you’re mine.”


I cried a lot when Maeve took Aelin in a cage and no one did nothing because she didn't want Elide being taken too. This book is really amazing, it was more about the war, but also tons, tons, tons of romance! We see four couple, five if we count Chaol and Nesryn (but they weren't in this book, just mentioned).

On one hand, we have Manon and Dorian, this isn't a real relationship, but they were close, really close, in this book.

A chill ran down her body, peaking her breasts. He watched them, then circled a finger around one. Dorian bent, his mouth following the path where that finger had been. Then his tongue. She bit her lip against the groan rising up her throat, her hands sliding into the silken locks of his hair.
His mouth was still around the tip of her breast as he again met her eyes, sapphire framed with ebony lashes, and said, “I want to taste every inch of you.”
Manon let go of all pretense of reason as the king lifted his head and claimed her mouth.


Then we have Lysandra and Aedion, they are so good together, Aedion confirms in this book his feelings for Lysandra.


“But you know what I told them? I said that they didn’t stand a chance in hell.” Aedion lowered his voice, holding her pained, exhausted stare. “Because I am going to marry you,” he promised her. “One day. I am going to marry you. I’ll be generous and let you pick when, even if it’s ten years from now. Or twenty. But one day, you are going to be my wife”


Now we have Elide and Lorcan, their romance is beautiful, they started faking a marriage but it didn't end well because he betrayed Aelin.


His throat bobbed. “Elide, you need to—”
But she rose up slightly, replacing her mouth where her fingers had been.
The kiss was soft, and quiet, and brief. Barely a grazing of her lips against his.
She thought Lorcan might have been trembling as she pulled back. As heat bloomed across her cheeks.

And for last but not least, our main couple, Aelin and Rowan, i don't even know how to describe this relationship, the only real, Rowaelin is great, they complete each other in a ways any one has. They got married and no one knew until the last pages! Which makes the King of Terrasen


Aelin met Rowan’s stare and said clearly and baldly and without a speckle of doubt, “I love you. I am in love with you, Rowan. I have been for a while. And I know there are limits to what you can give me, and I know you might need time—”
His lips crushed into hers, and he said onto her mouth, dropping words more precious than rubies and emeralds and sapphires into her heart, her soul, “I love you. There is no limit to what I can give to you, no time I need. Even when this world is a forgotten whisper of dust between the stars, I will love you.”


If this book was great, I am sure the next one will be wonderful.
